<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Among the highest ranks is fasting during daytime and praying during the night. So, how could we be heedless of an act of worship that is equal to that?!<br>
2) Good manners are a reason for multiplying rewards, so much so that a well-mannered person can reach the rank of someone who observes fast without missing a day and someone who performs voluntary night prayer without missing a night.
